Predicting survival in elderly kidney patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4B and 5) to see if a set of health measures can help predict how long they may live. It aims to guide care and planning for patients and their doctors.
